I've got a song, which I hope to record soon, about how people seem to get crazier as they get older instead of getting it together. It has this line in it.

"pretty bad when you think that I'm the sane one, when I KNOW I'm just another clown"

Hey Flatlander- Not trying to muscle my way into your song or anything...but one of my buddies has a great theory that as we get older, our personalities are 'distilled'. All the normal stuff gets evaporated and all the idiosynchrasies are condensed into a high proof whacko!

Okay...here's mine! I planned to record it Friday afternoon, THEN you'll hear how bad I really am. For you youngens out there, here's the original Little Feat referencehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKnVBzxmhcw

Waitin (adapted from Willin)

My top’s warped from the dry, the action is lowThere’s a better one out there dontcha know…and I’m still…waitin’

On the forum late one night, saw a post with a thousand repliesA post…caught my eye

I’ve been from rosewood to koa, ovangkol to silver oakNearly every kind of Larrivee that’s ever been madeEvery one was a pleasure to playBut if you give me Italian spruce or hogI’ll be out of this fogThat’s why I’m waiting…for the Forum 3

They fought over specs night after nightBut came to agreement from the left and the rightAnd now…they’re waitin

I couldn’t afford it, and sat on the fenceBut to not make an order just didn’t make senseAnd now… I’m waitin

Orders came from New York and the Carolinas…Scotland and WinnepegNow 78 Forums are going to get madeMine just happens to be number 58Just give me an L...S3...M...TWith Herringbone purflingIt’s worth waiting…Thanks Ricky!

pennerblue- I put the words to the music in my head, trying to stretch some words, shorten others. Great lyrics that fit a hard song to put words to. With you & Matt (& others), this might turn into a really fun & interesting trend for this thread. Again, nice job ! Jeff

SherrySorry you didn't get in on this. A mass e-mail was sent out prior to taking orders. I thought everyone was supposed to be contacted so nobody would miss out. Darn, this would be perfect for you. I know you like the smaller- bodied guitars. It would be a nice complement to your parlor. I hope you can get in at some point. Also, I have a hunch that, with 78 guitars being built, there will be a few people who will have one for sale before long. There's bound to be instances where someone was disapointed or couldn't bond with the 12 fret LS-03 and decides to sell it. Keep an eye out.

I called Jim this morning and he said he would put me on a list... just in case someone changed their mind :) I just hadnt been on the forum in a long time and didnt know... got too involved with th horses to take the time on the forum during the nice weather . I have been looking for a 00 but this one appealed to both me and my Husband so figured it would surely suit one of us... ( at least that is what we talked about.. I want it for ME!!!)

Best of luck Sherry, I hope it works out for you and you get one. Like Tuffy says, I am pretty sure one will come up used soon enough with that many ordered, even if there is no cancellation.

Me too, actually I just emailed Jim and told him I would be interested in ANY configuration that became available not just the rosewood without extras . Im sure you guys are right and one would eventually become available... I just have to try and keep my husband from buying another Martin instead !!! The sooner I spend his money the better LOL!

With regards to those who didn't order a Forum III not to worry. Out of 78 orders and this economy "buyers remorse" may rear its ugly head. With myself, depending on the Forum III, will probably put one of my 00-50 Traditionals up for sale. If you like small guitars the 00-50 fits the bill. And then there's always the upcoming Forum IV.

Lynda- as far as a Forum IV guitar, Larrivee might decide to put the LS back into production based on it's popularity on the Forum III gits. It might be limited runs or come back into offering. I'm sure he didn't expect the order to get as high as it did for ours ! I might sound redundant to your post, but that's only because I agree with you. Ours will still be special, one-of-a-kind guitars forever ! I'm patiently waiting for mine; I have stuff to sell to try to make up the difference in my balance due.Jeff
